Yes, always thought it was a silly defence, when the two Russian ones were put there by unmanned landers.
Yes, it is. It was part of Gondwana land which included India, Australia, South Africa, South America and Antarctica as one single land mass. That broke up. Not sure how you measure "oldest island". Madagascar was in the middle of it so... ??
Correct according to Guardian & Wiki
At the risk of being a pedant... if a large mass of land is not connected to any other land mass, does that not qualify it as being an island? In the case of Gondwana land (which I admit, I had never heard of), if bits break off from an island, aren't they newer than the original (larger island)?
Can't argue against that except wordy folk and -ologists may say that Gondwana , and the nothern one Andara, were continents, or supercontinents, which came into existence when Pangaea split. I suppose Antarctica's a continent too. How large is large? No that's not a quiz question.
I'm still looking for the island "No Man".
Tis yores, IHNJ.
